Good.

Same. I don’t like or respect Bush either, but (generalizing hugely obvs) Texans who like George can’t stand Barack, and Texans who can’t stand George do like Barack. So it’s a basically perfect pairing for Dallas. There’ll be someone for almost everyone, to show up for and listen to.

You know, there’s nothing that I agree with Bush about anything, policywise. And I’ve thrown a lot of stones his way in his time. But again, hard to see the downside in a bipartisan gathering, and the voice of the last president before the current one is not insignificant.

Bush still speaks for a lot of people, especially in Texas, who consider themselves reasonable. He’s not Trump, at least. A show of unity... well, hard to see the downside.

As much as I dislike George W. Bush, I’m okay with this. I think this is a time for unity and there is no better show of unity right now than of the current Democratic President and the previous Republican President coming to the service together. I doubt it will heal any rifts in Washington, but I’ll take what I can…

Why do you even bother with us? I mean we are sooo emotional and all.

Have a couple of shots.

I worked at a high end retailer. We always were supposed to walk out with other employee or call security. Security always took forever so we mostly said fuck it. One day a coworker was fully kidnapped by a car full of men. I don’t know what they did to her but I’m guessing something horrible. Thankfully no one judged…

Gawd, you brave, brave man. If only we lowly vagina-havers could be more like you. But we can only dream of that perfection. I mean, the straight male is MORE perfect (I’m sure you’ll agree; they’re the best of the best) but even your type of male... so much unattainable perfection for the likes of us. If only we were…

Oh good, bitchy gay misogynist is back to back up his hetero bro. Let us have it, ally! BTW, love the vagina imagery. Must hurt you to use though. Poor dear.

Of course it’s safer in every situation.

Male Bartender-I only listen to complete bullshit like this if I’m getting free drinks. Also, in addition to being male you are also really white- identifier: the phrase “dodgy neighborhood.”

The fact that MRAs regularly take up the cause of blaming a crime predominately committed by men on women is very telling about their movement. You boys and your female subservients sure are tired of seeing men getting in trouble for sexual assault, huh? It’s a shame that out of all the valid problems facing men and…

Thank you! I feel like I am always saying this. I have probably done every “Don’t” on the ‘keep yourself out of trouble’ list. I’ve gotten drunk, I’ve dressed provocatively, I’ve went to strange peoples rooms, I’ve made out with guys, I’ve walked home alone in the dark (also drunk!) and I have never been raped because…

Did you know that the number one cause is rape is rapists, i.e. individuals who believe they have a right to another person without consent?

If you were aware of your privilege, you might have just read the comments and learned something. What you did was barge in, announce that you are aware of your privilege, and say the same thing the article said.

Oh, look...

These narratives are so resigned to rape culture. There will always be SOME person who is easier to take advantage of. Maybe because she’s drunk, or alone, or disabled, or a child. Rapists are looking for easy prey. Don’t just tell me “make sure you’re not the most easily victimized!” Someone else will be vicrimized…

But getting drunk doesn’t put us at more risk of being raped.
